That Smell: A Miasma of Corruption Clings to Rep. Eric Swalwell

Eric Swalwell's campaign shows no signs of slowing its luxury spending, racking up more international costs at the likes of a five-star Paris hotel, federal filings show. It sounds like the same kind of grift that put his California Republican congressional colleague, Duncan Hunter, Jr., in prison.

Swalwell

  • His campaign spent nearly $38,000 on travel expenses between May 19 and June 30, including $3,538.94 in late May for catering for a fundraising event at France's "iconic" Ritz Paris.
  • The highly-rated hotel’s website states that it has several upscale bars and reservation rooms.
    1. Swalwell's campaign, comprised of just two paid staffers, reported spending nearly $38,000 on travel expenses between May 19 and June 30, including $3,538.94 in late May for catering for a fundraising event at France's iconic Ritz Paris, a posh hotel that features several upscale bars and reservation rooms.
    2. This time, it's raw campaign finance corruption, given Swalwell's amazing life of luxury lived out to the max on campaign funding. It sounds like the same kind of grift that put his California Republican congressional colleague, Duncan Hunter, Jr., in a prison cell.
